Hi everyone,
My name is Billy and I'm 15 years old. I have always wanted to be an airline pilot and have recently started flight lessons. I enjoy flying and can't see myself doing anything else. My cousin is a PIC at Piedmont Airlines and has been helping me a lot. I want to work for Piedmont Airlines when I get the hours and reach minimum age. He really likes working there. Over Thanksgiving, he showed me his paycheck at the dinner table. The one after you guys got those bonuses. I was impressed. Think it's an awesome job.
So just wanted to say hi and say I can't wait to fly for Piedmont one day!

Ahh let’s not forget about min rest overnights that are “legal”, or my personal favorite of when you have a scheduled crew meal on a 15 min turn with an aircraft swap and than a good ole CP is questioning why the flight went out late. On time performance metrics first, and employees and safety last.

ahhh JP is still at it I see???? he sees a flight is late, then just picks the phone up and calls the captain. doesn't do any sniffing around prior to the call to see what happened. don't worry though, he's ALL about good leadership and mentoring pilots with his condescending personality. heck, i don't know why he didn't get through that UA interview when he tried to justify that an MD-11 type was just as good as a 4 year degree L O L.

According to the ALPA seniority list, He's 55 years old and only has 10 years left of his 121 flying career. I highly doubt he is going to flow and get maybe 8 years at AA as an FO having to commute (take direction from captains) and actually dealing with a flight schedule/line. Not to mention all the baggage that will be following him. He was in the national news after all during a global pandemic for an email he sent to all the pilots at Piedmont saying he will not let you be off from work to get vaccinated - great leadership and "caring for people on life's journey". Give his name a google, that will be there forever!
He is way too comfortable in his current position of power and has the luxury of driving to work and back home every day (when he feels like coming in), and he does not have to come in on weekends. My money is on him staying at PDT and trying to move up in ranks and acquire more power. Heck, look at Matt K for example and what he did and where he currently is at as (I mean "a*s") the director of operations.

You actually think he is going to flow?
